1 question still needs answer why are you using 3 browsers all together just for testing/benchmarking or 3 browsers are serving some purpose, cant you use just 1 browser with multiple tabs?

The issue of tabs refreshing content is an android OS issue not sure if android 4 solves this problem but if you request some devs they can mod the auto refresh = false.

I found one old thread discussing bluetooth keyboard for tablet, can this work with your phone?

actually i use ucweb specially for downloading. Its download manager is superb. I use opera because it loads pages really faster. Also its pinch to zoom, smooth scrolling feature is awsome. But it doesnt support some sites. So unwillingly i have to use sometime mozilla or dolphin browser.

Anyway I hope that doomlord will make usb otg feature for us. It will permanantly solve my many problems (reading pendrive data, connecting usb keyboard)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
Try using any one browser either ucbrowser or dolphin hd & then see how is multitasking working for you. Mozilla firefox is buggy & extremely slow so leave that out.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
Thanx. I will try the way that u have suggested me. Anyway do u know any bluetooth keyboard which can also be used as normal usb keyboard with our computer...? I searched on net. But didnt get any proper keyboard.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
Logitech & microsoft makes bluetooth keyboards but I doubt that if they have wired usb along with it. Why would you need usb if the bluetooth works?

http://www.logitech.com/en-us/keybo...s/devices/cordless-desktop-mx-5500-revolution

There are plenty of them on ebay.in

http://www.ebay.in/sch/i.html?_nkw=...eyboard&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313

ask the seller if it works with samsung android.

Most ebay products have 7-15 day return policy.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
because I have a desktop pc to whose keyboard is not in a good condition. So i want to buy new keyboard. So if i get a new usb keyboard along with bluetooth which can be used both for pc & mobile also.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
Bluetooth keyboards comes with a usb bluetooth dongle that's the only way it works with desktop so you don't need usb cord connection at all...........all problem solved.

Look at the image gallery link on logitech link it shows that dongle which enables the desktop to use bluetooth.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
I installed UC browser just for testing to replicate your problem.

Visually a great looking browser most pages work fine but the memory footprint is too huge it consumes 40-60mb with just 2 tabs open, then I opened site in flash & there you go ..............its a ram hungry browser its consuming 120mb just with 2 tabs open. For the 1st time I could see such heavy ram consumption that only 19mb ram was left free out of 487mb

Finally hanged & had to be Force Closed, restarted the phone retried it again the same problem..........mind you I was not multi tasking just using UC with 2 tabs to browse flash multimedia content.

Your whole problem is UC browser is ram hungry & not meant for multimedia content.

The same 2 tabs opened in Dolphin HD works fine & consumes 40mb of ram only. From day 1 I have been using this browser & never faced multi tasking problems.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
Thanx buddy for testing. Also try testing with only two browser opera & dolphin. In both browser try to open at least 3 tabs & see how phone's ram management will behave.

Also can u plz tell me price & product number of keyboard that u had mentione in ur post with its image?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] emailpeter:
Vishal's observation is a real and fundamental issue. I use the latest Galaxy Tab 7.7 under HC 3.2. It exhibits the same issues across all the 5-6 browsers I've tested. Even the lightest & frugal of browsers like Dolphin Mini will still be shut down and refreshed. I believe its the OS doing all this as I've loaded many Ram Managers to give priority to my one chosen browser and to aggressively close all other programs, but the OS will still periodically (there is no real pattern) close the cache on my nominated browser.

If there is a rooted tweak or firmware to solve this, I would gladly do this. Like "force stay" a particular program, even if it means much much less RAM and slowdown of speed, I will still do it.

This constant refreshing when we get in and out of progs is a real pain in the @@@.

Guys any good suggestions is appreciated. My iphone behaves far more conducively like that described by Vishal.

Cheers.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
My case is opposite & I have tried for 3 days to overload the phone via multi tasking keeping apps open in background but for strange reason my browser never quits so I am wondering how is that I am not facing this problem where as you both are reporting this problem.

From day one I have been using android assistant which manages memory for me that might be the reason that I don't face this problem at all. As I am typing this while testing 6 apps are On & I am switching among them constantly.

I am sitting in the car

connected to my home wifi

bluetooth connected to car, playing music

GPS sound navigation on in the background

sending sms (kept the read sms window open)

skype connected (just for testing)

Dolphin HD 5 tabs open (typing this long post in 1 tab)

email sync ON (for testing) else I manually check

gmail app open in background

android native browser open in background (just for testing)

Not even once the apps close on their own, mind you this is not how I use this phone, this mindless multi tasking is only for testing but I confirm no apps get close & android assistant still shows 60mb ram free (my normal usage shows 110-120mb ram free). In your case it seems some apps are consuming all the ram & then apps are closing.

Before buying this phone I specifically asked for multi tasking capability of this phone & bought only when I was satisfied that yes it can do reasonable multi tasking.

Hope this helps you to look into the problematic apps on your phone.

Why would you normally open 2 browser in daily usage, what purpose does that serve cant youuse1 browser with multiple tabs?

Bluetooth Kb should be available for 2600/- may be more now since dollar rate has increased steeply.

This phone only lags in one area, when you have to play HD video either in video player or via youtube.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
@ sgsI9003

Thanx for ur reply buddy. As I already said that some host sites do not get properly open in ucweb or dolphin browser. My point is still same that why should I myself restrict or think before opening an app that wheather it is an app or browser...? Suppose I want to open 5 browers (brower is oviously an app like all other apps) or I want to open some apps then I just want that there must a pattern in closing of apps by android os. I will try android assistant app by removing all other ram managing related apps & report back here.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ybyb:
@sgsl

I use dolphin mini and while browsing of I press the home button and then go back. It loads the sites again. How come doesn't happen with you.

Which launcher you use?

My ram is always 400+ then I need to free memory using android assistant widget, advanced task killer and the stock task manager.

@visual @shall @ybyb

Thanks for the valuable feedback. I must caveat that I'm on Tab 7.7 HC 3.2 instead of yr GB. I had a Flyer 2.3.5 which exhibited a lot less erasing of browser cache.

As to @sgsl This, I must try Android Assistant now. But I also noticed that prove like gmail, email, music & some calendars seem to hv priority & sticks to task manager without exit. Its the browsers that get hammered. Are you able to cconfirm if you see pages immediately upon re-entering browser & not it reloading all over again like @ybyb.

Also note that this issue is also reported in ICS users. Hence we have little upgrading hope in solving it. Perhaps when they release 2gb RAM machines we see solution.

Cheers guys.

Also buddies,

Maker of dolphin has already long acknomledged this problem. See their FAQ on both HD & mini. Its beyond their control as OS Kernel does its own handling. But I've found some after market progs like PlayerPro & Dropbox that seems to "force stay". So browser makers must find a way to up their priority & glue on.

Pity my fellow 7.7 threaders are mostly concentrating on hacking & one upping each other on OS's but as a practical user here, I find this cache issue to be a major fundamental drawback. Its such a pity as there always seem like i hv more than avail Ram to handle keeping those 2-3 progs open. Were only asking for a music, email & browser to stay cached & open.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
Now we are discussing different things, browser getting closed versus tabs getting auto refreshed, Vishal has been telling that his browser gets shut off.

Auto refresh is android feature/limitation & happens with me too so here we have similar thing happening but at no point the browser or any other app is getting closed may be due to the ram available to me still remains as 60mb.

If you can write to android team they can make future tweaks or can ask for such tweak from i9003 Devs. In past I have requested changes from android support team & they finally did what was needed.

I use launcher pro from day one.

I suggest to use only 1 memory manger & freeze rest of all as they will compete to free ram from each other & may hog resource in doing that.

Short press of home button takes you to home screen that's not what I do, instead I long press home button which brings up task manager from there I toggle apps I have running in the background. I just did a quick test & no the tabs don't auto refresh in my case (tested this on 5 different websites) though I have seen the tabs auto refreshing many times on my phone too may it happens ONLY when memory gets low.

in that case you should report the site url to browser developers so they can correct the behavior, I have done that many times to Dolphin HD team, now they have added "user agent" so by default dolphin HD opens site in android mobile mode but if I have some problematic site then I change to desktop mode & it renders correctly.

You don't have to restrict at all but you do have to keep an eye on available ram that is applicable on any computing system. I can even choke my brand new system which is having intel i7 with 16gb ram that does not mean that its not good for multi tasking.

Now it seems that certain apps which you are using are consuming lot of ram leaving very little free ram & making android feel lazy.

---------- Post added at 12:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 PM ----------

While typing the above long post in last 30 mins I kept many apps open but at no point the tabs auto refreshed, after posting I checked It showed 96mb ram free so I forced freed the ram & went to the browser, all tabs auto refreshed so its confirmed that when the system frees the ram the browser cache is deleted hence the tabs refresh automatically.

Hope this finding clears your doubts now.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] emailpeter:
Thanks @sgs for the good feedback. I have resigned to further tweaking to solve this issue, its embedded deep in the kernel & no tweak apps seem to solve it. My guess is that HC & its related apps/browsers are more ram draining, hence NC acts very aggressively to free up Ram. So much for upgrading from iPad to Android, I‘ve foregone quite a bit of multitasking.

Its a pity coz the OS is plenty fast & yet keeps too much Ram free and with very good battery life. I could forgo a lot of those qualities for a static cached browser, after all I'm now waiting for ages for the browser to refresh, hence its like on 1st generation OS decades ago.

Hello,

Simple question: I have over 18mb left on my Legend, but still the "low on space" icon is in my menu bar all the time. I moved all the possible apps to the sd card. Anyway to remove the icon?
[Legend General] R.I.G.:
The icon dissapear when free space more 20 mb.
[Legend General] Asovse1:
Even if you could get rid of it, you shouldn't just leave it low on space. Critical sync functions are disabled when low on space, like Gmail sync if that's your primary e-mail client.
[Legend General] red_rebel:
Install one of the custom roms, you will have more memory to play with.

I wish I could but downgrading and rooting a HTC Legend seems like a very difficult job. I tried a few times, but with no success :'(

Interesting development:

I did a factory reset on the phone and installed all the same apps (via app2sd) and now I have over 60 mb of free space. And a better working phone.

But when I flashing the Rom I get this error:

I search the internet for hours and tried a lot of things to fix that. But it does not work.

One thing I could not try is flashing with fastboot. Try flashing the boot.img with fastboot i got this error (maybe because a closed bootloader ?):

Do you have any ideas ?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] copkay:
Has anyone else experienced issues with system sounds not playing? My Nexus does not play any touch sounds or keyboard sounds, when both of those options are definitely checked. I've rebooted, factory restored, tried a new ROM, and I get no sounds.

I do have the famed "clicking" sound (of the speaker engaging and disengaging) as though it's attempting to play, if I listen closely.

Using the Verizon Galaxy Nexus with both stock 4.0.2 and an AOSP build of 4.0.3.

EDIT: Using Volume Control + to edit the System Volume from 2 to 7 fixed the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
Go to settings settings > sound > volume. Make sure your music, video, games, and other media slider isn't muted.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Budgifvars:
Same problem here. I thought that maybe it was a 4.0.1 issue... wonder if it is hw related?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mutelight:
Have you tried connecting headphones to see if you hear anything? Maybe something got the sensor in the jack stuck?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] copkay:
Thanks for all the quick replies! I just had a brainstorm after posting and figured out what the problem is. I don't have an answer for HOW it happened, but there seems to be a System Volume that is NOT user-modifiable. I just downloaded Volume Control +, and changed the System Volume from 2 to 6. I can definitely hear it now! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mutelight:
Strange! Well at least you got it working! :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pedmond:
Is there any way to increase the volume of the touch sounds?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] copkay:
Do you mean past volume level 7? Probably not. You could always pull the sound effects from /system/media/ui and amplify them in an audio program such as Audacity, then push them back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pedmond:
Thank you, I though about it too, but then I decided against it because I may feel I want to go back to a lower volume and it would be a pain in the neck to move files back and forth.

The only way I could get them a little louder is by using DSP or similar.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] copkay:
True, it would. Then again, to lower the volume, you could then just modify the system volume lower rather than moving the old files back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MaheshWiz:
thanks

Thanks this thread helped me get keyboard sound after flashing custom rom, there was no setting adjust system volume in setting.

3rd party apps like volume plus did the trick.

Same problem here on my xperia play ! o.o

Don't know how happened, not flashing roms or appling any new tweak from 2 months or more..
